Here's a good article on the new "1511" Win10 update that just came out. I am pleased with the update so far and haven't had any issues to speak of myself.

I'm a few builds ahead of this due to being forced to "dogfood" but that update has a lot of goodness in it, especially stability wise.


Some people don't like having to opt out of telemetry... but it has GREATLY reduced TTR on product issues. Spike detection has vastly shortened the amount of time it takes us to get a bug filed and a fix into the pipeline. And the OS as a service model with smaller frequent updates means that the fix gets to customers faster too

One thing I REALLY like? The File Manager remembers where the heck I last left it!
